MUSIC NEWS: Chris Walla is leaving Death Cab for Cutie

This morning's breaking news may come as quite a shock to Death Cab For Cutie fans. After 17 years, Chris Walla has announced that he will be leaving the band. The Seattle musicians just finished recording their 8th record which is due out at the beginning of 2015. Chris plans on finishing the remaining festival dates that the band has scheduled, and then going his own way. We wish him the best of luck with his record label and the all the bands he produces music for around town. Very curious to see where Death Cab goes from now on. Read Chris' full statement here.
